This past Wednesday, we had the incredible privilege of hosting Terrence Talley at our school! His powerful message of "Be a Hero" for our younger students and "Don't Give Up" for our older ones brought the perfect mix of laughter and heartfelt moments. Terrence had our students and staff laughing, dancing, and most importantly—feeling *seen, loved, and valued.* ❤️ He closed each presentation with a beautiful opportunity for students and staff to connect on a deeper level, reminding us all of the strength found in kindness and community. Thank you, Terrence, for a day we won’t forget! 💙 #BeAHero #DontGiveUp
